Cash Availability Problem (Vegas) Need Information from Experienced Vegas Goers

[TheCentaur]

OP you didn't plan enough ahead of time. Don't screw this up by paying ridiculous fees wiping out any +ev you might have on this bet you like. Get the max out of ATM everyday until the event, paying $3-5 per transaction, and place what you can on it. Better to put 2k on a bet paying $6-10 in fees than 5k with ~$500 in fees

[crustyme]

cashing a check at the casinos is your best bet.

[ProfaneReality]

Do you know off hand the fees involved with a cash advance at another bank off a DC?

Then there is the limit issue... will banks really allow a $5,000 cash advance off a DC?

It doesnt matter if you are a customer of a bank or not. Ive taken advances of 2500 before, with no fee, at a bank I wasnt a customer at.... even if they charge a fee it would be a fraction of the cost of a w.u.

go online to the casino website and fill out an APP to get casino credit. They will check your bank account and give you one if you have money in your account and if you have good crdit

I think I'm going to either take your advice and go to another bank that is open on Sunday and try the cash advance off my DC or try the cashing a check at a casino.

One of those two options has to work you'd think?

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Before I book the flight I want to make sure this will actually work.

Does anyone know for sure whether I can do a cash advance off a DC for 5,000?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Pick winners..sorry for all the crappy answers your getting...

1) Go to the ATM tonight and however many days you have and take out the maximum you can for the day(usually this is 600)
2) Call your bank and ask for a Daily atm limit increase. If you can increase your limit to 5,000 you can go to a ATM right now and withdraw 5,000 out of it. You'll just ahve to make 5 transactions of $600 bucks. $600 is the most a ATM can feed out at a time(unless it distributes 100's)

3) If you have a local credit union and cant do option #2....At every casino in the world you can do a cash advance. This can be on a DC or a CC. Its best to do it on a DC because then your not subject to paying higher interest which starts to accrue the days of the purchase at the highest possible APR in your credit terms. Ive done this once at a Indian casino and it was pretty expensive. At the commerce in la it was like $20 maximum fee for any amount up to like 10,000.

Option 3 will always be available to you. The fee could be high that's why i suggest option 1 to get the most money you can right away.

4) as someone stated earlier, call your casino you'll be staying at and ask customer service if they can cash a check for you/Describe potential options to you.

Check won't work on a Sunday, how are they going to verify your acct?

DC 5k advance must be some high fees involved

You may have to call your CC company/bank to approve the transactions but you can cash advance at least up to 10,000 at any casino.

If he has a major bank like BofA chase or wells fargo they can verify his account 24/7/365

If he has either of these 3 banks he can get a ATM limit increase to at the very least 2,000 a day in a 5 minute phone call. For BkofAma you can do it online without picking up the phone.

I did a cash advance on a CC once in Vegas... I think the fee was 96 for $1,000?

So it'd end up being $500 if I did it at the casino! That sucks!

Do you think BkofAma would refuse to increase my daily maximum to $5,000 if I asked them? The problem is, their customer service department is closed and I would need to book the flight before I can get an answer out of them.

This last minute bullshit is killing me, lol

Yeah it is BofA, I just called them and they are closed so can't get any information, but if they will raise my limit to $5,000 at the ATM that would solve my problems.

If OP is willing to pay high fees to get a bet down he's already lost

[crustyme]

casinos use telecheck to instantly verify your bank account even on sundays.

I figured that would be the case.

Besides, isn't writing a bad check in Vegas a federal offense? Doubt many people would try that one.

[crustyme]

or buy a used rolex with a cc then pawn it for cash.

Damn! I thought you had it figured out man. I tried this and then it said that the withdrawal limit I entered is higher than the maximum $1,504 allowed.

$1504? is that all you have in your checkings account At the moment? Mine was 2000 not but a couple months ago when i was in Vegas. I did call for this but they referred me how to do it online in the future.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

pickwinners

Yeah man, thanks, I got to that page but entered in $5,000 and formatted it correctly and then it said that it is an error because I can not enter more than $1504.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Nah, it isn't a current balance issue. I'm not sure why it is saying my max is $1504.

[Iwinyourmoney]

ATM limits reset at midnight.

You could pull 1500 out right before and right after if you set up your account now and ur in the right time zone

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Well even at $1500 you could get 1500 tonight and 1500 tomorrow morning. Just got to figure out how to get the Other 2 grand.

[Iwinyourmoney]

If you send to yourself via West Un online it's a 276$ fee. But if this bet is worth it to you....then go for it

12:23 here. everything is going wrong for me, lol.

I think I'm going to call and ask that they increase it to 5,000 when I get to Vegas and then hit a BkofAma ATM. If they refuse to bump it to $5,000, I'm going to tell them that I know they did it for other customers and they better not fukk with me.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Set it to 1500 and go take it out

Send 3500 via West Un online for 216 and call it a day

Tough luck man. Good luck if you go, you may have to pay $100 in fees to get the bet down.( 1500 atm for free and about $100 to get $3500) Cant think of another alternative.

** online has never worked for me. I'll give it a try though as a last resort.

[rake922]

Is this a rigged game? What the **** is the rush to do this? there's always sports to wager on

Guess it doesn't matter. This bet is already in the bag.

[crustyme]

now im curious which game it is.

[MoneyLineDawg]

PickWinner......How do you not just call the casino/sportsbook of your choice, like right now......explain your situation and ask for the best advice?

When you called to request the ATM increase, they bumped it from $2,000 to what for you? Did they give you a hard time about it?

[PickWinnerAllDay]

now im curious which game it is.

I will post the ticket when it is clocked in tomorrow. I'm already positive the line is going to move against me as it is.
